Patient's question:
The child has a cough and fever for the fourth day. Two days ago, the C-reactive protein was 22, and the white blood cell count was 5.6. Yesterday, the fever persisted, with a C-reactive protein of 13 and a white blood cell count of 2.64, at a temperature of 38.8°C, with neutrophils at 0.15 (the normal value is 0.18). Could this be a split infection? Currently, the child is taking oseltamivir, azithromycin, and paracetamol and chlorpheniramine. I need to ask the doctor what is wrong with the child and when the fever might subside. Please help me, professional doctors!Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby has a fever caused by bacterial splitting and viral infection. If there is no runny nose, the child does not need to take cold medicine. You can give the baby azithromycin, plus antiviral drugs, and Pu Dilan anti-inflammatory oral liquid. Avoid taking Eriamphenyl Yellow Naphazoline Granules, and you can use traditional Chinese medicine in combination, such as Xiao Er Chi Qiao Qing Re Granules. The above is advice on this issue. I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
